The Arrim One AR Measuring Device

This tiny gizmo replaces a tape measure, laser level, angle finder and more

Who'dve thought that the real killer app for augmented reality would be measuring things? Arrim One, a little widget that plugs into your iPhone or Android, essentially turns your smartphone into a tape measure, angle finder, laser level, diameter-calculator and more; the tool can be used to measure not just straight lines, but angles, curves and circles. Take a look at what it can do:

They're claiming an accuracy of +/- 1.5mm over a distance of 20 meters. Too good to be true? Perhaps, and the Arrim One isn't on store shelves. It was a recently-funded Kickstarter campaign that did gangbusters, garnering $273,639 on a $20,000 goal. They expect to begin shipping next month, and we're curious to see if the product can live up to the promises.

Pretty cool if it is as accurate as they claim. It isn't too expensive either.

I'm interested to know how it calculates the distance without a reference, especially at different distances.

In the past, I had used the "multimeasure free" app on my iPhone and it worked great! You had to feed it one measurement as a reference though in order for it to calculate the others.
